The Youngest Child's Death

Arthur Hughes 1832 - 1915

Summary

Interior scene. A young woman kneels on the floor beside a bed, her head resting on the bed. A young child lies motionless on the bed, lit with a pale light in contrast with the rest of the drawing. A chest of drawers stands on the left, a drawer left open, with clothes pulled out and a pair of children's shoes on the floor below.
